that boy in that city has been arrested for
passing a counterfeit coin. To our mind this
is conclusively proof that the modern boy is
more honest than his predecessors. When
We were Young We should never have passed
that coin oh No. We should have stopped

Here and There.

The question of base ball nine for next
season is already beginning to agitate the peo-
pie of Portland. As yet the management in
that city has arrived at no conclusion as to
whether it will put nine into the field
next season. Last season the attendance was
small aud the expenses heavy. Bad weather
also contributed to make the result financially
failure. The loss fell chiefly upon three
gentlemen who were backing the nine.
Despite all reports to the contrary Mr..
Spence can be secured as manager for the
coming season. The Express believes that
the New England League will be made up of
stronger PLAYERS next season than ever fore
and hopes that Portland will take immediate
steps to secure players strong enough to up
hold the honor of the Forest city on the
diamond We wish our Portland friends all
success in putting team into the field next
season The whole State has felt pride in
the laurels won on the diamond by the Forest
city bows.

Recruiting OHicer's Chat About Applio-
cants for Enlistment.

A Recruiting Officers Chat About Apple
cants for Enlistment.
The number of recruits that offer
themselves is an excellent barometer OF
the condition of trade throughout the
country. When trade is slack crowds
present themselves, while, when work
is plenty, it is hard to get as many good
men as we need. Not one applicant in
ten is accepted, as, if man has the
slightest physical inlirmity, such as i'm
perfect sight, or deafness of one ear,
he is rejected. The weight of the re-
cruits is carefully regulated, none be-
ing allowed to enter the cavalry who
are over 155 pounds, and very light
or very heavy man is rejected for all
branches of the service. We have a
great deal of trouble with young fell
lows of nineteen or twenty who wish to
enlist Eithout the consent of their
parents. They all swear that they
are over twenty-one, and it is next to
impossible to convince them that we
will not muster them in. The officer
in charge is obliged to be very strict,
as if for any reason recruit mustered
by him is rejected, he is obliged to pay
all expenses incurred by the Govern
ment. A great proportion of the ac-
cepted recruits are old soldiers, who
have been discharged and have made
up their minds to leave the army. They
try civil life from three months to a
year, at the end of which time they
nearly all are again in the ranks, as
soldiers are we'll fed, we'll clothed,
cared for when sick, and are as a class
far better off than the ordinary labor
ing man. Men are beginning to recog-
nize this fact, and of late years far
better class of men have enlisted than
was formerly the case. The army is
no longer composed of ruf1ians and
criminals, but of most excellent set
of men,. ST. Louis Globe Democrat.

BUTTER-MlLK FOR HOGS.
How to Feed 1t so as to Provide the
Greatest Amount of Nutrition.

How to Feed 1t so as to Provide the
Greatest Amount of Nutrition.
Buttermilk is highly heterogeneous
food containing about one part of nitro
gen to two of carbon. The proportion
of nitrogen is at least twice us great as it
need be, and as it should be to be profit.
able-that is, to feed without material
waste. Corn-meal, on the other hand,
is highly carbOnaceous, containing
eight or nine parts of carbon to one of
nitrogen. 1t is at least twice as car
bonaceouS as it should be, just as the
butter-milk is twice too heterogeneous.
Now due mixture of both these two
foods will probaly balance the ration
and secure the greatest economy, both
in preventing waste and in providing
the greatest amount of nutrition. In
feeding pigs, to begin with, Prof.
Henry, of the Wisconsin Agricultural
Experimental Station, recommends
one pound of meal to each gallon
Of butter-milk. This leaves the ration
still strong in the heterogeneous
element necessary to promote growth.
AS the pigs advance in size, and fat
rather than growth and muscle is de-
sired, more cornmeal may be added.
This will make the food more carbona-,
ceous and cause the hogs to lay on
more fat. In some experiments made
at the Massachusetts, Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station, counting corn meal
worth $2S ton and buttermilk at 10
cents per 100 pounds, it was found that
a pound of pork cost 4.6 cents. At
first, u ounces of corn meal were
added to each gallon of buttermilk, on
another occasion, and the quantity of
meal gradually increased, closing with
81 pounds of cornmeal and three gal
Ions of buttermilk to each hog. Reck-
oning on the same basis, the cost of a.
pound of pork was 5.79 cents. This
was in the winter, the difference in the
season accounting for most of the differ
ence in cost. In the first case it took
"a pounds of dry matter to make a
pound of pork; in the second, 1857
pounds of dry matter to a pound OF
pork. u. S. DdirUnldn.

Texas Train Robbers Agaln-The Advent
of Frank James Into The Lone Star
State Seems to Have Fired the Texan
Heart to Deeds of Lawless Daring.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, June 19-One OF
the most thorough and accomplished
pieces of train robbery ever perpetrated
in this part of Texas was that which oc.
Cured one mile east of Flatonia, on the
Sunset route, between and a. m. yes.
terday. The train held up was the east.
bound passenger, No. 10, which left the
city at $3.50 Friday evening. The journey
was without incident until Flatonia was
reached, which is in Fayette County,
about sixty miles from San Antonio. AT
this point seven men boarded
the train as passengers, and
as it pulled out two of the
men went forward, and clambering over
the tender threw their pistols down on
the engineer and fireman and told the
latter to do as they were told and they
would not be hurt. When a few miles
from the station the train was stopped
for business. Then the actual work Of
the robbery began. Frank Folger, the
young express messenger for the Wells.
Fargo Company, seeing their movements,
threw away the keys to the safe, and nc
sooner had he done this than two stalwart
robbers confronted him with the demand
to open up. Folger hesitated and told
them he did not have his keys, whereupon
they dubbed him over the head and
threatened to kill him, but he was help
less and they fellcd him to the floor and
cruelty split his ears with pocket-knife
They then went through the safe and
secured about 5000 belonging to the
Wells-Fargo Company While this was
going on the other robbers were busy
going through the passengers, sighting
no one, even robbing the newsboy Of 80
One old gentleman, sleeping in his berth
was awakened, and, reaching under
his pillow for his valuables, was struck
senseless by pistol in the hands of {
robber. The robbers then searched under
the pillow and found neat roll of bills
amounting to $1,000, together with watcl
and some diamonds, probably worth $j0t
more.
All the passengers were gone through
as easily, most of them kindly getting
their valuables out to prevent any incon'
| venience to the robbers. One lady wa
struck on the head for being a little
slow, and Mr.. Hopenthal, a CONNER
cial man of this city, was relieved of S25
IN cash. The robbers were very cool ant
! determined in their work and delayet
the train more than an hour. When the
had flashed they mounted their nor ses
in waiting near by, and galloped off. TIL
train proceeded to the next station wher
the wounded eXpressman and passenger
were given medical attendance.
Conductor Lyons, in charge of the train
says the captain of the gang had no mask
on and was called Dick by his com
panions. He also described the clothing
and personal appearance of the three VIII
